Our Scout24 Engineering Values define what we stand for and what matters most to us. These values guide our daily work and decision-making. To bring these values to life we define more concrete Engineering Principles.
Security of products and data is our top priority, followed by reliability.
We treat security and reliability as shared responsibilities, scaling resilience efforts
based on product criticality and maturity.
We align technologies and processes across Scout24's engineering, adhering to agreed standards rather than introducing unjustified new tech. We embrace platforms, reduce complexity by eliminating redundancies, and balance innovation with maintainability to enable team transfers and organizational scaling.
Teams fully own their domain's products and services from concept through development, operation, continuous evolution, and retirement. We organize around business domains, ensuring everything has clear ownership.
We celebrate impact over effort. We validate ideas through data-driven iteration, prioritizing quick experiments and lean solutions. We deliver measurable value through simplicity and cross-team collaboration, sharing knowledge to maximize impact. We're willing to change direction when needed, learning from each experience to improve future work.
We explore new technologies and fully leverage AI's transformative potential to create innovations with meaningful business impact. We balance open experimentation with deliberate limits on technology variation. We share technology knowledge organization-wide to foster learning and growth.
